Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson

I Am Your Demon<br /> I am the shadow that lurks in the night<br /> I am the darkness that brings terror, fright<br /> I am the demon that comes in your dreams<br /> I am the horror that thrives from your screams<br /> I am the monster that lurks in your mind<br /> Inside of your mirror I&#039;m not hard to find<br /> I am the nightmare inside of your soul<br /> I am the anger raging out of control<br /> I am your demon, your mirror, your shade<br /> You cannot control me, my presence shan&#039;t fade<br /> I am you nightmare, your shadow, your dream<br /> I am your voice, your vision, your scream<br /> I am the madness inside of your head<br /> I shall stay here inside you until you are dead<br /> Tim Vallie
